A series of A.I.-generated videos have recently made the rounds online, and they have since been removed by TikTok. It showcases a white man in his twenties, complaining about how difficult it is to get a job in Canada. The reason why it was taken down is simple, according to the platform. It violated community guidelines due to racially-motivated messaging, a line-crossing action regardless of how much A.I. was being used to create the videos. Markus Giesler, a Professor of Marketing at York University, analyzes the latest tech trick that is deceiving today’s viewers.

From its earliest days, the Avon River has been the heart of the community of Stratford, Ont. The centrepiece of the river, known as Lake Victoria, was created in the 1830s as a millpond for industry. The parks board later convinced the city to invest in horse-drawn scoops to dredge the lake. Locals warded off railroad proposals along the shorelines, where roses from Queen Mary were planted. A pair of swans from Queen Elizabeth arrived in 1967.
